Rabbi Schneider - Experience the Free Gift of God
Romans 6:23 says this: "The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life." We need to be thinking about our actions because the Word of God tells us that the fruit of sinning is death, that when we sow into darkness, we reap death.
And sowing into darkness, it's not just stealing and robbing and all those things. It's our thoughts. When we're allowing the spirit of the enemy to move through us, to work through us, where we agree with thoughts of hate towards someone or accusation towards someone, when we allow the enemy to use us to gossip about someone, this is all, beloved, sowing into darkness and the wages of sin is death.
I want to encourage you today to fear the Lord. Refrain from sinning. Control your thoughts. Control your mouth. Because as you do, you're going to reap life from the Spirit and experience the free gift of God, which is eternal life. But we have to choose. "Behold," says the Lord. "I put before you today life and death. Choose life that you may live."
